Assuming Straight Line Depreciation:

Cost = $14,500
Salvage = $2,100

Depreciable Amount (Cost - Salvage) = 12,400

(a) Annual Depreciation = Depreciable Amount / Est. Life
12,400 / 8 = 1,550

(b) Net Book Value = Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
14,500 - (1,550 * 4) = 14,500 - 6,200 = 8,300
